Welcome to the Scrapbags Blog

We are a very friendly group of scrappers who meet each month in Hertford. We chat, scrap, share ideas and techniques and generally have a great crop which usually flies by far too quickly.

We love to meet fellow scrappers so please feel free to stop by and meet us (dates & location to the right), or if you'd like more details please drop me a line at scrapbags@ntlworld.com.

Long time no blog.....


But I do have a very good excuse – well 3 actually.  Both of my children had operations within 2 weeks in different hospitals in different towns. I know – 18 years with no major problems and then both at once. It must be something to do with being the offspring of a bus engineer. Anyway – both are on the mend and apart from loads of follow up and physio appointments life is getting back to normal, but with one HUGE improvement.

Which brings me on to the third reason I’ve been busy.  I’ve finally emptied my car boot and vacated the kitchen table. I am proud to announce the opening of Scrapbags HQ…


Isn’t it GORGEOUS??  I still cannot really believe it’s mine, and can’t decide whether I’m luckier to have such a lovely space all to myself or to have such a wonderful,  generous and clever husband.  Mind you he didn’t do it all himself – it took the TWO OF US just a week from delivery to fully painted, furnished and moved in.  Not bad, eh?  Mind you I still haven’t fully unpacked or sorted all my papers etc – I’m too busy creating.

I finished this LO for our 12 hour crop very quickly  in my lovely calm, creative cabin.

I found a tutorial for these chevrons on Julia Stainton's blog.

Well, I'm off down the garden to work on July's layout, and you never know, I might actually catch up on the mountain of photos waiting to be scrapped.

Happy scrapping
